Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of cerebral metastasis from breast cancer. This cross sectional study was conducted on patients with cerebral metastasis from breast cancer in Shahid Sadoughi hospital from 2014 to 2020 and was conducted on 37 patients with mean age 50.83± 14.58. Negative estrogen receptor/ progesterone receptor and Ki67 > 50 was seen in 54.1 %, 62.2 %, and 10.8 % of patients, respectively. The most common cerebral tumor was brain with frequency of 63.6 %. There was no significant difference between age range less and more than 50 years regarding cerebral metastasis and location of cerebral tumors (p-value >0.05). The most location of cerebral metastasis was brain. Furthermore, cerebral metastasis and location of cerebral tumors were not influenced by age range of patients.
